Answer #1

As per Canadian business law a contract is an oral or written agreement between 2 or more person which is enforceable by law.

For a contract to be valid it must have following elements:

1) Offer & Acceptance

2) Consideration

3) Consent

4) Lawful Purpose

5) Capacity

In given case Curtis claim on James is invalid because as aper Canadian business law betting, gambling is unlawful activity. So the contract between Curtis & James is invalid as it is not for lawful purpose.
